This is a series of free IELTS preparation webinars that are aimed at providing test takers with the support they need to prepare for the test, during this difficult time.
IELTS preparation webinars will be conducted by IELTS experts. Each webinar will last for approximately 60 minutes, and will help you find out what to expect during the test. It will also help answer frequently asked questions about each section of the test: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.

Webinars will run twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays). Each webinar will last for approximately 60 minutes, and will be held twice a day at 9:30 am and 3:00 pm UK time.
